Hi group,

The first plant that I asked about has just shown the first signs of a
flower:

As you can see it's a deep pink flower - any ideas as to what this is?

Thanks

Hi group,

have a just moved to a house with a fantastic garden and im doing all I
can to keep it maintained but have a couple of areas that have a heavy
growth of some plants that Im not sure are weeds or not.

The two plants/weeds can be seen he

Thanks in advance

A weed.... Willowherb, or similar.

It's one of the willowherbs, a british wild flower which can be invasive
in a garden setting.

Thanks everyone for your help and well done to Mike - your original
suggestion was correct!

Ive just pulled them all up and will keep an eye out for it coming
back.

This is one of the few plants I know about: it's a willowherb. Could be
one of a number of varieties; the main thing you need to know is that if
it gets into your garden you will have one heck of a job getting rid of
it again. It's very pretty, but it's also very stubborn and about as
sterile as a bramble.

Is there a round disc powered lawn edger out there that I don't know of.
My lawn comes right up to slabs and is bl...... hard work. TIA
